XRP (XRP-USD) has been stuck in neutral for 200 days — but not for much longer. After months of pinging between $1.90 and $2.90, the market’s most debated altcoin is flashing signals of a high-stakes breakout. Analysts are split, but the bullish side says XRP could soon explode toward $10, or even $25 — if history repeats.

200 Days Of Silence. Now The Chart’s Getting Loud.
Since its 500% breakout in November 2024, XRP has been trapped in a wide sideways range. Neither bulls nor bears have been able to take control. But the longer the consolidation, the bigger the move — and this one has been building pressure for months.
Chartists say the setup looks anything but random. XRP is forming a symmetrical triangle — the exact same pattern it carved out in 2017 before launching a 1,300% run. Analyst Mikybull Crypto points to a near-identical structure forming on the three-week chart.
If that fractal plays out, the breakout target is $3.70, roughly 75% above current levels. Analyst XRPunkie calls it an “epic breakout” waiting to happen.
A Six-Year Pressure Cooker Could Send XRP To $10+
Some analysts are zooming out — way out. GalaxyBTC points to a multi-year descending trendline that XRP just broke and retested, echoing its 2014–2017 structure. That last move took 1,267 days and launched XRP from consolidation to a 1,300% rally.
This time? The coil has lasted over 2,470 days. That’s nearly seven years of pressure. If XRP mirrors the same move, we’re looking at a target between $8 and $10.
And some bulls are even hungrier. Fibonacci models and ETF-fueled scenarios are placing stretch targets near $25–$27.
Not Everyone’s a Believer
Of course, not everyone’s loading up. Bears point to an inverse cup-and-handle pattern developing on the weekly chart.
They argue XRP already peaked at $2.90 in March and has been rolling over since. If the bearish pattern confirms, a breakdown toward $1.33 becomes the next likely stop, a key Fibonacci support level that previously acted as resistance in the 2021 cycle.
That said, consolidation doesn’t last forever, especially not 200 days. XRP’s chart is coiled tight, technical patterns are flashing, and historical analogs are piling up.
At the time of writing, XRP is sitting at $2.17.
